1
00:00:24,292 --> 00:00:26,624
<i>Hercules Formation, abort mission.</i>

2
00:00:26,625 --> 00:00:29,332
<i>Negative. We can't return without Hyena 2.</i>

3
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:31,124
<i>Hercules 1, it is too risky.</i>

4
00:00:31,125 --> 00:00:32,875
<i>There are Stingers out there, Hercules.</i>

5
00:00:33,375 --> 00:00:35,916
Nishi is alone.
I won't come back until I've found him.

6
00:00:35,917 --> 00:00:37,167
<i>Deviating from your planned mission.</i>

7
00:00:53,042 --> 00:00:54,250
<i>Stinger spotted.</i>

8
00:01:06,792 --> 00:01:08,500
<i>Chief, there's some good news.</i>

9
00:01:09,083 --> 00:01:12,292
<i>We have shot down
an Indian Air Force jet in Kargil.</i>

10
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,417
Excellent.

11
00:01:15,625 --> 00:01:17,332
Now let's see

12
00:01:17,333 --> 00:01:21,125
how many more pilots the Indian Air Force
will send to their deaths.

13
00:02:13,167 --> 00:02:16,666
<i>For the last 52 years,
the India-Pakistan border</i>

14
00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:18,583
<i>has been engulfed by war,
suspicion, and mistrust.</i>

15
00:02:19,833 --> 00:02:23,457
<i>And last year, when the two countries
conducted nuclear tests,</i>

16
00:02:23,458 --> 00:02:26,249
<i>this mistrust reached its peak.</i>

17
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:30,874
{\an8}<i>It was called the most dangerous event
in the world after World War II.</i>

18
00:02:30,875 --> 00:02:34,332
<i>But just seven months later,
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee</i>

19
00:02:34,333 --> 00:02:37,332
<i>accepted Nawaz Sharif's invitation,</i>

20
00:02:37,333 --> 00:02:40,374
<i>and announced the historic
Lahore Bus Yatra.</i>

21
00:02:40,375 --> 00:02:42,041
<i>Now the question is,</i>

22
00:02:42,042 --> 00:02:45,875
<i>"Will the defense forces of both countries
be able to trust this peace?"</i>

23
00:03:00,458 --> 00:03:03,291
{\an8}Gentlemen, peace or no peace.

24
00:03:03,292 --> 00:03:06,207
This year too, the Western Air Command's
war game exercise

25
00:03:06,208 --> 00:03:07,791
will take place as scheduled.

26
00:03:07,792 --> 00:03:10,999
Like every year,
this will be a test of your flying skills,

27
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,416
alertness, innovation,

28
00:03:13,417 --> 00:03:14,832
and bravery.

29
00:03:14,833 --> 00:03:18,082
{\an8}This year too, all the squadrons
will be split into two teams.

30
00:03:18,083 --> 00:03:20,624
{\an8}Red Land and Blue Land.

31
00:03:20,625 --> 00:03:21,707
{\an8}But this year,

32
00:03:21,708 --> 00:03:23,499
{\an8}for the first time,

33
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:24,499
{\an8}in Blue Land,

34
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:26,791
{\an8}a Photo Recce Squadron
will also be involved.

35
00:03:26,792 --> 00:03:29,624
{\an8}Golden Arrows,
led by Wing Commander Tony Dhanoa,

36
00:03:29,625 --> 00:03:32,957
{\an8}who will conduct reconnaissance
for the bomb squadron Wolfpack,

37
00:03:32,958 --> 00:03:34,749
{\an8}identify targets,

38
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:37,332
and assess post-strike damage.

39
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,000
In the next month,

40
00:03:39,583 --> 00:03:41,541
there will be five operational rounds,

41
00:03:41,542 --> 00:03:43,291
then the semi-finals,

42
00:03:43,292 --> 00:03:44,499
and finals.

43
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:45,582
Any questions?

44
00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:46,832
No, sir!

45
00:03:46,833 --> 00:03:50,708
Gentlemen, before this exercise,
I asked you all,

46
00:03:51,333 --> 00:03:54,749
"How will you ensure
your squadrons are war-ready?"

47
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:57,041
{\an8}And I have received your requirements.

48
00:03:57,042 --> 00:03:58,832
Jammer pods,

49
00:03:58,833 --> 00:04:00,582
self-defense system,

50
00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:02,999
advanced flying simulators.

51
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,625
And someone even asked
for night-vision goggles.

52
00:04:07,208 --> 00:04:09,208
But, Tony,

53
00:04:10,708 --> 00:04:12,583
you haven't asked for a thing.

54
00:04:13,167 --> 00:04:14,457
{\an8}Sir, in my squadron,

55
00:04:14,458 --> 00:04:17,333
{\an8}I have some of the youngest fighter pilots
of the Western Air Command.

56
00:04:18,083 --> 00:04:19,291
They're academy-trained,

57
00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:21,917
but it's their first time
flying the MiG-21 operationally.

58
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,124
Sir, you and I both know

59
00:04:24,125 --> 00:04:27,791
MiG-21 has the fastest take-off
and landing speed in the world.

60
00:04:27,792 --> 00:04:29,249
Before they become war-ready,

61
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:31,750
I want my boys to be MiG-ready.

62
00:04:32,917 --> 00:04:35,000
And for that, we don't need any equipment.

63
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,958
We need a good coach.

64
00:04:38,792 --> 00:04:40,583
And who is this coach?

65
00:04:42,458 --> 00:04:44,333
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja.

66
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,500
{\an8}<i>I can't think of a better name than him
to turn my boys into men.</i>

67
00:04:57,667 --> 00:04:58,875
Sorry, Alka.

68
00:05:00,292 --> 00:05:02,208
We need to keep moving because of me.

69
00:05:03,542 --> 00:05:04,542
"Sorry"?

70
00:05:06,708 --> 00:05:08,333
I was about to say thank you.

71
00:05:09,458 --> 00:05:10,292
"Thank you," why?

72
00:05:10,875 --> 00:05:12,583
For so many new sarees.

73
00:05:14,292 --> 00:05:15,583
At a new posting,

74
00:05:16,583 --> 00:05:18,833
even old sarees become new.

75
00:05:29,417 --> 00:05:30,375
Hey, champion.

76
00:05:31,417 --> 00:05:32,832
Come on, tell me.

77
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:33,792
Fourteen eights are?

78
00:05:36,583 --> 00:05:38,625
- One, one, two.
- Too slow.

79
00:05:39,708 --> 00:05:41,249
Do you want to become
a fighter pilot or not?

80
00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:44,292
A fighter pilot has to solve math problems
in a second.

81
00:05:46,083 --> 00:05:48,374
1700 hours. Be ready.

82
00:05:48,375 --> 00:05:50,541
There's an even bigger swimming pool here.

83
00:05:50,542 --> 00:05:51,625
Okay, Dad.

84
00:05:52,208 --> 00:05:53,167
- Bye.
- Bye.

85
00:05:56,958 --> 00:05:58,457
You have become a flight commander,

86
00:05:58,458 --> 00:06:00,833
at least buy a decent bike.

87
00:06:04,917 --> 00:06:06,833
I have 16 MiGs, ma'am.

88
00:06:46,292 --> 00:06:49,332
{\an8}If the Flight Commander rides in
on a scooter from the Stone Age,

89
00:06:49,333 --> 00:06:51,500
what impression will it make on the boys?

90
00:06:52,542 --> 00:06:54,417
Sir, why is everyone
obsessed with my scooter?

91
00:06:55,292 --> 00:06:56,958
In any case, if you come to think of it,

92
00:06:57,792 --> 00:07:00,292
our MiGs are older than my scooter.

93
00:07:01,375 --> 00:07:02,374
Right, Tony sir?

94
00:07:02,375 --> 00:07:04,374
You and your twisted logic.

95
00:07:04,375 --> 00:07:05,792
Come here. Come.

96
00:07:06,875 --> 00:07:08,708
Welcome to Golden Arrows.

97
00:07:09,625 --> 00:07:11,958
- Good to see you again, Ahuja.
- Thank you, sir.

98
00:07:14,833 --> 00:07:15,917
Oh, wow.

99
00:07:16,625 --> 00:07:18,166
Annual war game exercise, sir.

100
00:07:18,167 --> 00:07:19,542
Semi-finals.

101
00:07:20,125 --> 00:07:22,667
It's time for the boys
to meet their new coach.

102
00:07:23,958 --> 00:07:26,375
As the dedicated photo recce squadron,

103
00:07:26,958 --> 00:07:29,166
our job is to approach the target,

104
00:07:29,167 --> 00:07:31,291
{\an8}fly low and take photos.

105
00:07:31,292 --> 00:07:33,541
Then enlarge these photos

106
00:07:33,542 --> 00:07:36,207
and share the exact strike coordinates
with the bombing squadron.

107
00:07:36,208 --> 00:07:40,457
{\an8}As soon as you cross this make-shift LoC,
the timer will start.

108
00:07:40,458 --> 00:07:42,374
Forty-five seconds.

109
00:07:42,375 --> 00:07:45,041
If you haven't returned within 45 seconds,

110
00:07:45,042 --> 00:07:47,249
Red Land's surface-to-air missiles

111
00:07:47,250 --> 00:07:48,624
will lock on to you,

112
00:07:48,625 --> 00:07:51,457
and for all practical purposes,
you're dead,

113
00:07:51,458 --> 00:07:53,624
and we'll lose points.

114
00:07:53,625 --> 00:07:55,542
And that cannot happen.

115
00:07:57,083 --> 00:07:58,125
<i>- Jai Hind,</i> sir.
<i>- Jai Hind.</i>

116
00:07:59,167 --> 00:08:00,250
At ease, Arrows.

117
00:08:04,958 --> 00:08:07,417
I want you
to meet your new flight commander.

118
00:08:08,208 --> 00:08:10,291
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja.

119
00:08:10,292 --> 00:08:12,041
Ajay was supposed to join us tomorrow.

120
00:08:12,042 --> 00:08:14,666
But I guess he was dying to see you guys.

121
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:17,499
What do you think our strategy should be?

122
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:20,041
The enemy will have missiles, sir.

123
00:08:20,042 --> 00:08:22,707
{\an8}We must fly the mission in radio silence.

124
00:08:22,708 --> 00:08:24,332
{\an8}I am not talking about that mission.

125
00:08:24,333 --> 00:08:29,374
I'm talking about the India-Pakistan
peace summit on 19th February.

126
00:08:29,375 --> 00:08:30,999
For the first time in 52 years,

127
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,750
our prime minister
will be going to Pakistan by road.

128
00:08:35,375 --> 00:08:38,541
What are your thoughts
about this bus trip?

129
00:08:38,542 --> 00:08:40,375
I think this is a good step, sir.

130
00:08:40,958 --> 00:08:42,541
Both have nuclear weapons.

131
00:08:42,542 --> 00:08:44,541
It's very important
to find a permanent solution.

132
00:08:44,542 --> 00:08:46,999
Sir, a permanent solution is impossible.

133
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,082
{\an8}- Tensions may subside a little, that's it.
- How?

134
00:08:50,083 --> 00:08:51,333
{\an8}Mistake.

135
00:08:53,375 --> 00:08:54,749
{\an8}This is a big mistake, sir.

136
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:57,166
{\an8}A country like Pakistan cannot be trusted.

137
00:08:57,167 --> 00:08:59,249
Peace is also necessary
between India and Pakistan.

138
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:01,832
The other country should also have
the same intention, right, Baldy?

139
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:03,458
Ahuja, what do you think?

140
00:09:04,667 --> 00:09:06,457
Sir, I don't think about all this.

141
00:09:06,458 --> 00:09:07,542
Exactly!

142
00:09:08,167 --> 00:09:11,832
You shouldn't even think about it.
Politics is not the Air Force's concern.

143
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:13,416
We are razor blades.

144
00:09:13,417 --> 00:09:17,417
We are trained to cut,
not to think about all this.

145
00:09:17,917 --> 00:09:19,500
We are 17 points behind.

146
00:09:20,125 --> 00:09:22,375
If you don't get 20 points
in the semi-finals,

147
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,582
no matter how many
fancy maneuvers you do,

148
00:09:25,583 --> 00:09:26,792
Red land will end up winning.

149
00:09:30,292 --> 00:09:31,125
Chou.

150
00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:32,958
Boys for the mission?

151
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:34,750
Dhali and Goofy.

152
00:09:35,458 --> 00:09:36,457
Boys,

153
00:09:36,458 --> 00:09:40,292
this is the closest you will get
to experiencing war.

154
00:09:41,542 --> 00:09:43,374
It's a war you've never lost, sir.

155
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:45,583
And I will not lose this time either.

156
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,457
Go get me those points.

157
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:50,708
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

158
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:27,332
Long live Pakistan, sir.

159
00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:28,625
{\an8}Long live.

160
00:10:33,917 --> 00:10:35,541
Sir, what brings you here?

161
00:10:35,542 --> 00:10:37,166
The World Cup is around the corner,

162
00:10:37,167 --> 00:10:39,417
so I thought I'd give the players
a little encouragement.

163
00:10:40,542 --> 00:10:43,250
Anyway, there's hardly any difference
between players and soldiers.

164
00:10:43,833 --> 00:10:45,957
We are always fighting for the next war.

165
00:10:45,958 --> 00:10:47,125
Very true, sir.

166
00:10:49,125 --> 00:10:50,666
Junaid was six years old.

167
00:10:50,667 --> 00:10:52,875
Even then he wanted
to become a fast bowler.

168
00:10:54,417 --> 00:10:56,792
Sir, you still remember?

169
00:10:58,500 --> 00:10:59,500
Of course, Tauqir.

170
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:03,124
<i>Inshallah,</i> he will soon play

171
00:11:03,125 --> 00:11:05,250
for Pakistan's cricket team too.

172
00:11:05,958 --> 00:11:08,167
How, sir? With Younis, Akhtar...

173
00:11:08,917 --> 00:11:11,708
Akram and all in the mix,
it is difficult, sir.

174
00:11:14,292 --> 00:11:15,957
Tauqir <i>sahib,</i>

175
00:11:15,958 --> 00:11:17,541
when his own father

176
00:11:17,542 --> 00:11:20,292
is set to become the chairman
of the Pakistan Cricket Board,

177
00:11:20,875 --> 00:11:22,291
what difficulty will he face?

178
00:11:22,292 --> 00:11:23,249
Sir?

179
00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:25,291
A new PCB chairman
will be elected in December.

180
00:11:25,292 --> 00:11:28,416
For this post, who could be better than

181
00:11:28,417 --> 00:11:30,750
the Pakistan Army's star sportsperson?

182
00:11:34,875 --> 00:11:37,250
Sir, the Pakistan team
is a big responsibility.

183
00:11:43,833 --> 00:11:45,542
Are you afraid to take on responsibility?

184
00:11:46,750 --> 00:11:47,750
No, sir.

185
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:52,042
Can you get Pakistan another World Cup?

186
00:11:55,042 --> 00:11:56,083
I will try, sir.

187
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:06,625
Then surely you'll also get Kashmir
for Pakistan?

188
00:12:11,042 --> 00:12:12,083
Kashmir, sir?

189
00:12:13,417 --> 00:12:15,124
Every year, the armies of both countries

190
00:12:15,125 --> 00:12:18,332
descend from
the snowy mountain peaks of Kashmir,

191
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:20,167
as per the Simla Agreement.

192
00:12:20,833 --> 00:12:25,417
And as DGMO, it is your office
that gives these orders, right?

193
00:12:26,958 --> 00:12:27,833
Right, sir.

194
00:12:28,417 --> 00:12:31,375
But this time,
our soldiers will not descend.

195
00:12:34,375 --> 00:12:37,082
But, sir, this is a violation
of the Simla Agreement--

196
00:12:37,083 --> 00:12:38,916
This is also
a direct violation of the LoC.

197
00:12:38,917 --> 00:12:41,749
Because this time,
our soldiers will go forward.

198
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:44,082
To capture all those posts across the LoC

199
00:12:44,083 --> 00:12:48,042
that India will have vacated,
honoring the agreement.

200
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:50,082
Especially those posts

201
00:12:50,083 --> 00:12:52,333
from where India's National Highway 1

202
00:12:53,083 --> 00:12:55,750
will be in our direct line of sight.

203
00:12:57,375 --> 00:12:58,791
But, sir,

204
00:12:58,792 --> 00:13:01,375
Mian <i>sahib</i> is about to begin
peace talks with India.

205
00:13:02,083 --> 00:13:03,042
So?

206
00:13:04,542 --> 00:13:05,667
Pardon me, sir.

207
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:09,000
Is the Prime Minister aware
of this operation?

208
00:13:13,167 --> 00:13:15,542
It's an army operation, General Zia.

209
00:13:17,458 --> 00:13:19,708
What is the need for Mian <i>sahib</i> in this?

210
00:13:26,542 --> 00:13:28,916
Are the posters for the peace talks ready?

211
00:13:28,917 --> 00:13:30,124
Sir, the layout is ready.

212
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:33,041
Is the meeting with
Faiz <i>sahib's</i> daughter fixed?

213
00:13:33,042 --> 00:13:34,666
No, sir. He's--

214
00:13:34,667 --> 00:13:37,542
Vajpayee <i>sahib</i> is a great admirer of Faiz.

215
00:13:38,583 --> 00:13:40,499
This should be looked into on priority.

216
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:41,583
{\an8}Yes, sir.

217
00:13:42,792 --> 00:13:44,541
{\an8}Sir, your father's asking for you.

218
00:13:44,542 --> 00:13:46,792
The cabinet has been waiting for a while.

219
00:13:48,583 --> 00:13:51,000
This is filled with mistakes.

220
00:13:52,292 --> 00:13:53,458
Mr. Aqil,

221
00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:57,291
Vajpayee <i>sahib</i> will be
the first Indian prime minister

222
00:13:57,292 --> 00:13:59,125
to set foot in Minar-e-Pakistan.

223
00:13:59,917 --> 00:14:01,624
Understand the significance
of these talks.

224
00:14:01,625 --> 00:14:03,041
- Okay, I'll come.
- Yes, sir.

225
00:14:03,042 --> 00:14:03,958
Please be seated, everyone.

226
00:14:07,375 --> 00:14:09,833
So, what is the agenda
for today's meeting?

227
00:14:10,667 --> 00:14:12,750
- The peace talks only, sir.
- Really?

228
00:14:13,458 --> 00:14:16,582
Our suggestion is that during the talks,

229
00:14:16,583 --> 00:14:20,417
{\an8}we propose the Chenab River
as the new Line of Control.

230
00:14:21,917 --> 00:14:22,750
This...

231
00:14:23,583 --> 00:14:25,333
The LoC will be like this,

232
00:14:26,542 --> 00:14:28,333
visible even from the moon.

233
00:14:41,375 --> 00:14:43,583
We've talked about this before,
haven't we?

234
00:14:45,792 --> 00:14:50,832
India will never accept this
80-20 division in Pakistan's favor.

235
00:14:50,833 --> 00:14:52,041
Sir,

236
00:14:52,042 --> 00:14:56,042
the Chenab River evenly divides the Hindu
and Muslim populations of Kashmir.

237
00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:59,208
- It's the ideal solution to the conflict.
- Aziz <i>sahib.</i>

238
00:15:00,292 --> 00:15:02,750
I'm the one
speaking to Vajpayee <i>sahib</i> every day.

239
00:15:03,792 --> 00:15:05,207
He will never agree to this.

240
00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:06,333
Nawaz...

241
00:15:08,292 --> 00:15:11,375
{\an8}By all means, do keep up
your friendly chats with him.

242
00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:16,500
But in the "real" negotiations,
follow Aziz <i>sahib</i>'s lead.

243
00:15:19,875 --> 00:15:24,792
When it comes to diplomatic talks,
he has far more experience than all of us.

244
00:15:27,458 --> 00:15:28,417
Yes, <i>Abba ji.</i>

245
00:15:31,458 --> 00:15:33,708
Should we move on to India's draft, sir?

246
00:15:35,167 --> 00:15:37,250
What is your opinion on this, Aziz <i>sahib?</i>

247
00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:46,999
{\an8}Sir, the Chief has appointed his loyalists
to all key army positions.

248
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,833
So?

249
00:15:48,875 --> 00:15:52,082
Sir, our political history shows that,

250
00:15:52,083 --> 00:15:55,416
whenever the army has expanded its reach,
the outcome has not been good.

251
00:15:55,417 --> 00:15:58,583
Butt <i>sahib</i>, I bypassed three seniors
and made him Army Chief.

252
00:16:00,208 --> 00:16:03,375
Now, if he wants to savor the feeling
of being chief, let him.

253
00:16:03,917 --> 00:16:04,874
How does it matter?

254
00:16:04,875 --> 00:16:06,791
Sir, this is a matter of border positions.

255
00:16:06,792 --> 00:16:09,207
If the chief tries anything reckless
in the valley,

256
00:16:09,208 --> 00:16:12,499
the ISI's long-term Kashmir plan
could be put at risk.

257
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:14,416
As for me, it's my job to warn you, sir.

258
00:16:14,417 --> 00:16:15,792
Yes, of course.

259
00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:18,292
And my job is to tell the difference.

260
00:16:19,042 --> 00:16:23,458
You focus on ISI operations,
not on General Musharraf.

261
00:16:26,208 --> 00:16:29,125
{\an8}The new flight commander
isn't exactly giving off commander vibes.

262
00:16:29,833 --> 00:16:32,625
{\an8}You never judge a jet's power
by the size of its body, Goofy.

263
00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:34,958
Getting a feeling from the mission?

264
00:16:37,375 --> 00:16:39,832
Bad weather above,
anti-aircraft guns below.

265
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:40,917
There is danger everywhere.

266
00:16:41,542 --> 00:16:42,832
Of course I'm feeling good about it

267
00:16:42,833 --> 00:16:44,124
Perfect.

268
00:16:44,125 --> 00:16:45,417
Happy landings, Goofy.

269

275
00:17:36,625 --> 00:17:38,332
These rolls were part of the briefing?

276
00:17:38,333 --> 00:17:40,333
Sir, that's Flying Officer Dhaliwal.

277
00:17:41,583 --> 00:17:42,583
Very talented.

278
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:45,333
{\an8}And a bit of a show-off too, sir.

279
00:17:59,792 --> 00:18:00,917
Can we go to the ops room?

280
00:18:02,417 --> 00:18:03,667
Sure, sir.

281
00:18:19,208 --> 00:18:21,500
Sir, would you be attending
the debrief today?

282
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:23,542
On my first day?

283
00:18:24,792 --> 00:18:27,792
- I think today I'll just observe?
- Right, sir.

284
00:18:28,792 --> 00:18:30,374
Sir, message from Met Department.

285
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:31,833
"Heavy cloud patch in Trident's route."

286
00:18:32,583 --> 00:18:34,374
- Sir?
- Safety first, always.

287
00:18:34,375 --> 00:18:36,375
Break RT silence. Alert them.

288
00:18:37,375 --> 00:18:39,000
Trident, Vanguard Control.

289
00:18:39,583 --> 00:18:42,041
<i>Exercise caution
for large cloud build up.</i>

290
00:18:42,042 --> 00:18:43,957
<i>There's heavy patch coming your way--</i>

291
00:18:43,958 --> 00:18:45,457
RT silence, Khan.

292
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:46,917
Whatever it is, I will handle it.

293
00:18:50,708 --> 00:18:52,374
Trident 2, Vanguard Control.

297
00:19:09,417 --> 00:19:11,707
RT silence, Goofy.
Do you want to gossip on channel 2?

298
00:19:11,708 --> 00:19:14,457
Dhali, what are you doing, man?
There's a cloud alert.

299
00:19:14,458 --> 00:19:16,166
Right now we're up in the air,
aren't we, Goofy?

300
00:19:16,167 --> 00:19:17,416
So just follow my lead.

301
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:19,416
This is the semi-final mission.

302
00:19:19,417 --> 00:19:21,417
No matter what,
we will complete it on time.

303
00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:29,291
Vanguard Control, Trident 2,

304
00:19:29,292 --> 00:19:31,208
leader is not responding.
Going ahead as planned.

305
00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:12,874
Trident Formation,

306
00:20:12,875 --> 00:20:13,958
lost Joy on you.

<i>Trident Formation, confirm ops normal.</i>

312

Affirmative. Heading to the party.

313
00:21:28,958 --> 00:21:30,374
Close shave, boys.

314
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:31,582
But the real mission starts now.

315
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:33,417
And you have only 45 seconds.

316
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,292
{\an8}<i>Go get those points.</i>

317
00:22:11,792 --> 00:22:14,000

00:22:27,042 --> 00:22:28,999
I changed my mind, Chou.

321
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,583
I... will attend the debriefing.

322
00:22:42,667 --> 00:22:45,083
- Sergeant, take the camera to the PIC.
- Sir.

323
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Are you okay?

324
00:22:53,667 --> 00:22:55,250
That was a bit much, don't you think?

325
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,792
You felt good about it, didn't you?

326
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:09,792
Goofy, why did you

327
00:23:10,833 --> 00:23:12,624
follow instead of aborting the mission?

328
00:23:12,625 --> 00:23:16,458
Sir, the leader asked me to follow,
so there was no option to abort.

329
00:23:17,167 --> 00:23:18,250
Textbook wingman call.

330
00:23:20,417 --> 00:23:21,250
Well done.

331
00:23:22,417 --> 00:23:24,666
And you? Ground orders were clear.

332
00:23:24,667 --> 00:23:26,417
So why did you

333
00:23:27,125 --> 00:23:28,708
take the risk of flying into the clouds?

334
00:23:29,542 --> 00:23:31,207
For 20 mission points, sir.

335
00:23:31,208 --> 00:23:35,249
The risk of collision for both pilots
was very high during cloud flying.

336
00:23:35,250 --> 00:23:36,291
Did you factor that in?

337
00:23:36,292 --> 00:23:37,874
Sir, we've flown together for a year.

338
00:23:37,875 --> 00:23:39,917
We completely trust each other, sir.

339
00:23:41,083 --> 00:23:42,292
And, suppose,

340
00:23:44,458 --> 00:23:46,083
while flying in the clouds,

341
00:23:46,583 --> 00:23:47,833
you became disoriented?

342
00:23:48,542 --> 00:23:50,208
We could've easily reoriented, sir.

343
00:23:51,125 --> 00:23:54,042
Only our squadron
has a global positioning system.

344
00:23:57,708 --> 00:23:58,542
Grounded.

345
00:24:00,917 --> 00:24:02,042
For one week.

346
00:24:02,917 --> 00:24:03,833
No sorties.

347
00:24:05,208 --> 00:24:06,207
Sorry, sir?

348
00:24:06,208 --> 00:24:08,542
For a week,
you will only perform ground duties.

349
00:24:09,125 --> 00:24:10,707
Bird clearance, paperwork...

350
00:24:10,708 --> 00:24:13,666
You'll interpret photos
from the other pilots' sorties.

351
00:24:13,667 --> 00:24:16,124
Pardon me, sir. But why?

352
00:24:16,125 --> 00:24:19,291
The mission needed to be completed,
and I only took a calculated risk.

353
00:24:19,292 --> 00:24:21,000
Sir, if we didn't do this,

354
00:24:21,583 --> 00:24:23,749
we would have lost, and the entire blame
would have fallen on Golden Arrows.

355
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:25,624
It's as simple as that, sir.

356
00:24:25,625 --> 00:24:27,249
And, there was no other way, sir.

357
00:24:27,250 --> 00:24:28,708
Does everyone feel the same,

358
00:24:30,333 --> 00:24:31,333
that

359
00:24:32,333 --> 00:24:33,666
there was no other way?

360
00:24:33,667 --> 00:24:34,792
There was, sir.

361
00:24:35,417 --> 00:24:36,374
There was a way.

362
00:24:36,375 --> 00:24:37,750
Go on, Baldy. Explain.

363
00:24:38,333 --> 00:24:39,958
Sir, dogleg maneuver.

364
00:24:40,750 --> 00:24:42,292
You could have gone around the cloud.

365
00:24:45,625 --> 00:24:47,750
And the time
that would have gone into rerouting?

366
00:24:48,833 --> 00:24:49,999
Two minutes at the most.

367
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,499
The length of the cloud
was ten kilometers.

368
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:55,207
And a detour around the clouds...
that's 20 kilometers.

369
00:24:55,208 --> 00:24:58,292
What about the extra fuel
the detour would've cost?

370
00:25:00,167 --> 00:25:02,666
Sir, at a speed of 800 kmph,

371
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:05,667
we probably used way more fuel
handling the cloud turbulence

372
00:25:06,458 --> 00:25:10,833
than the extra amount needed
to cover that ten-kilometer difference.

373
00:25:12,167 --> 00:25:15,458
I think dogleg was a safer
and more efficient option.

374
00:25:16,542 --> 00:25:18,999
Clearly, what is safe for me

375
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,791
is dangerous
for our "professor <i>sahib"</i> here.

376
00:25:20,792 --> 00:25:23,416
And it's fine. Every pilot
has their own risk-taking capability--

377
00:25:23,417 --> 00:25:24,708
So, you agree.

378
00:25:26,333 --> 00:25:27,707
That there was another way.

379
00:25:27,708 --> 00:25:30,207
Sir, in that moment,
it was just me up in the air.

380
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:31,917
You weren't there and nor was he.

381
00:25:33,208 --> 00:25:35,832
And if it were wartime, sir,
would we still abort--

382
00:25:35,833 --> 00:25:37,875
Grounded for two weeks, Dhaliwal.

383
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,499
Let's save the risk for a real war.

384
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,708
<i>There is no war going on right now.</i>

385
00:26:19,958 --> 00:26:21,499
As-salamu alaykum, <i>Chief.</i>

386
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,041
{\an8}I have an urgent update to give.

387
00:26:24,042 --> 00:26:25,457
{\an8}Lieutenant General Aziz

388
00:26:25,458 --> 00:26:27,792
{\an8}and Lieutenant General Mahmud
are both on the line.

389
00:26:28,542 --> 00:26:29,667
{\an8}Tell me.

390
00:26:30,333 --> 00:26:31,874
{\an8}Sir, as per the plan,

391
00:26:31,875 --> 00:26:36,999
<i>soldiers from our 12NLI
have captured eight vacant Indian posts.</i>

392
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,457
<i>But as they moved forward,</i>

393
00:26:38,458 --> 00:26:42,583
<i>they found many more hidden posts
we were not even aware of.</i>

394
00:26:46,375 --> 00:26:49,457
<i>It's clear that India
is guarding NH1 like a fortress.</i>

395
00:26:49,458 --> 00:26:51,624
<i>And now that
India is honoring the agreement</i>

396
00:26:51,625 --> 00:26:53,541
<i>and stepping down from all these posts,</i>

397
00:26:53,542 --> 00:26:55,333
<i>we should take full advantage
of this situation.</i>

398
00:26:55,917 --> 00:26:57,624
I think we should take them all, sir.

399
00:26:57,625 --> 00:27:00,207
Hassan, to hold posts
across such a vast area,

400
00:27:00,208 --> 00:27:03,582
we will have to cancel the winter holidays
of 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers.

401
00:27:03,583 --> 00:27:06,291
<i>We're already violating
the Simla Agreement</i>

402
00:27:06,292 --> 00:27:07,582
<i>by crossing the LoC in winter.</i>

403
00:27:07,583 --> 00:27:11,624
<i>Capturing 200 square kilometers of area
would be a major invasion.</i>

404
00:27:11,625 --> 00:27:16,833
General Mahmud, do you set out
to capture Kashmir every day?

405
00:27:18,833 --> 00:27:19,833
No, sir.

406
00:27:21,542 --> 00:27:24,625
So, you'll never get
a better opportunity than this.

407
00:27:26,083 --> 00:27:27,999
<i>- General Hassan.</i>
- Yes, sir.

408
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,874
Start preparing to capture
all those posts.

409
00:27:30,875 --> 00:27:33,207
Not even in their wildest dreams
would they imagine

410
00:27:33,208 --> 00:27:34,333
we could do something like this.

411
00:27:34,917 --> 00:27:38,000
<i>In this operation, our audacity
will be our greatest strength.</i>

412
00:27:38,583 --> 00:27:42,625
<i>Start making a list of supplies.
I'm sending Tauqir Zia to you.</i>

413
00:27:43,208 --> 00:27:46,750
- Long live Pakistan.
<i>- Long live Pakistan, sir.</i>

414
00:28:07,042 --> 00:28:08,874
Dhali. I have some good news.

415
00:28:08,875 --> 00:28:12,332
The bombing squadron destroyed
Red Land's comms base.

416
00:28:12,333 --> 00:28:13,625
And we won the semi-finals.

417
00:28:14,458 --> 00:28:16,167
- I know.
- That's true.

418
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:19,042
But I got my next posting.

419
00:28:20,083 --> 00:28:21,542
Mirage Squadron.

420
00:28:22,458 --> 00:28:23,500
Mir--

421
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:28,417
Straight from Maruti to Ferrari.

422
00:28:32,250 --> 00:28:33,792
Congratulations, Sangy.

423
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:40,833
Hopefully, there's no flight commander
there who punishes risk-taking.

424
00:28:41,667 --> 00:28:44,833
Let it go, Dhali.
You won us the semi-finals, man.

425
00:28:45,417 --> 00:28:47,207
Let's celebrate that today.

426
00:28:47,208 --> 00:28:49,124
Let's go. Drinks are on me tonight.

427
00:28:49,125 --> 00:28:50,917
No, man. Have fun.
I'm not in the mood. Thank you.

428
00:28:53,083 --> 00:28:54,167
It is unfair.

429
00:28:54,875 --> 00:28:57,874
Let's all talk to him together.
Let's see what Ahuja sir says.

430
00:28:57,875 --> 00:28:58,833
Yes, let's see.

431
00:28:59,458 --> 00:29:00,582
He's the Flight Commander.

432
00:29:00,583 --> 00:29:03,457
He'll do whatever he wants,
nobody can say a thing.

433
00:29:03,458 --> 00:29:06,208
So what if he's the flight commander?
We're bachelors too!

434
00:29:07,458 --> 00:29:08,708
Maybe we can't reason with him,

435
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:10,750
but we can definitely mess with him.

436
00:29:18,083 --> 00:29:19,250
Let's go.

437
00:29:20,042 --> 00:29:21,208
Where is Professor s<i>ahib?</i>

438
00:29:21,792 --> 00:29:23,707
He'll be where he is every evening.

439
00:29:23,708 --> 00:29:24,583
Okay. Let's go then!

440
00:29:25,125 --> 00:29:26,708
<i>Bala, do you love me or not?</i>

441
00:29:28,125 --> 00:29:29,457
What kind of question is that?

442
00:29:29,458 --> 00:29:30,874
Of course I do.

443
00:29:30,875 --> 00:29:32,625
<i>So, will you elope with me?</i>

444
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:40,041
Madhavi, I haven't even become
a flight lieutenant yet.

445
00:29:40,042 --> 00:29:42,042
My training is still going on.

446
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:45,291
Right now,
I don't think it's the right time.

447
00:29:45,292 --> 00:29:47,833
<i>There's a lot of pressure at home.
Please try to understand.</i>

448
00:29:52,583 --> 00:29:54,083
Bouncing?

449
00:29:55,042 --> 00:29:55,999
You guys go.

450
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,333
We are not asking.

451
00:30:01,542 --> 00:30:03,833
Madhavi, I will call you in an hour.

452
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:06,958
Hello?

453
00:30:10,792 --> 00:30:12,333
It got cut.

454
00:30:39,583 --> 00:30:41,082
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, ma'am.

455
00:30:41,083 --> 00:30:42,792
Aren't you guys quite late?

456
00:30:43,542 --> 00:30:44,666
In the previous squadron,

457
00:30:44,667 --> 00:30:47,208
the bachelors had come to bounce
on the second day itself.

458
00:30:49,958 --> 00:30:51,208
Your team has arrived.

459
00:30:52,542 --> 00:30:53,708
Finally.

460
00:30:54,792 --> 00:30:55,750
<i>Welcome home, boys.</i>

461
00:30:56,417 --> 00:30:57,542
I don't drink.

462
00:30:58,292 --> 00:31:02,000
But I get others drunk.
This bar is all yours. Help yourself.

463
00:31:02,583 --> 00:31:03,749
You're in some form, huh, Dhali?

464
00:31:03,750 --> 00:31:06,582
- It's my second, man. It's his seventh.
- It's your seventh?

465
00:31:06,583 --> 00:31:08,917
It's all free while bouncing, no?
So he's drinking his heart's fill!

466
00:31:10,042 --> 00:31:12,083
Doesn't want to pay for his drinks!

467
00:31:12,958 --> 00:31:14,000
Let's go.

468
00:31:15,292 --> 00:31:16,583
Start chopping.

469
00:31:20,833 --> 00:31:22,708
We will make my special dish.

470
00:31:24,750 --> 00:31:26,208
You want to eat, right?

471
00:31:27,125 --> 00:31:28,750
- Yes, ma'am.
- Then get started.

472
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:38,083
What are you looking at?
This house belongs to Alka ma'am.

473
00:31:38,792 --> 00:31:40,125
I just live here.

474
00:31:41,292 --> 00:31:42,292
Come on.

475
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:47,958
I'll chop the carrots.

476
00:31:48,667 --> 00:31:49,542
I'll chop the potatoes.

477
00:31:53,958 --> 00:31:56,083
Bro, it feels like
coming here to bounce has backfired.

478
00:31:57,792 --> 00:32:00,542
Honestly, these two seem
way more in sync than us.

479
00:32:01,083 --> 00:32:03,292
What's all this whispering?

480
00:32:04,167 --> 00:32:07,249
If you wanted to talk to each other,
why did you come here to bounce?

481
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:08,375
Let's all hear it, come on.

482
00:32:09,125 --> 00:32:11,916
Sir, actually, Max was asking

483
00:32:11,917 --> 00:32:14,792
about the war game exercise finals--

484
00:32:16,042 --> 00:32:18,125
Bouncing rule number one in this house,

485
00:32:19,125 --> 00:32:20,917
there will be no talk of flying.

486
00:32:22,208 --> 00:32:24,291
- No talk of flying, bro.
- There won't be.

487
00:32:24,292 --> 00:32:26,167
- Sir.
- Thank you, Sangy.

488
00:32:26,708 --> 00:32:28,207
But, ma'am, this is a very unfair rule.

489
00:32:28,208 --> 00:32:31,583
If this was a rule in my house,
I would never have become a fighter pilot.

490
00:32:32,375 --> 00:32:33,708
This conversation is allowed.

491
00:32:35,125 --> 00:32:37,583
Rajendra Dhaliwal, ma'am, my father...

492
00:32:38,208 --> 00:32:40,708
He was also in the Air Force.
Ground duty officer.

493
00:32:41,375 --> 00:32:43,458
And my mother was an amazing cook.

494
00:32:44,125 --> 00:32:46,833
So, all the fighter pilots used to come
to bounce at our house.

495
00:32:47,958 --> 00:32:50,457
Growing up listening
to all their flying stories,

496
00:32:50,458 --> 00:32:51,874
one day I got bitten by the bug.

497
00:32:51,875 --> 00:32:53,957
Where is Dad posted now?

498
00:32:53,958 --> 00:32:55,292
- He's retired.
- He's retired.

499
00:32:58,208 --> 00:32:59,958
Wing Commander Dhaliwal.

500
00:33:01,375 --> 00:33:02,500
'69 batch.

501
00:33:03,792 --> 00:33:05,374
Disciplined officer.

502
00:33:05,375 --> 00:33:08,042
- I'd met him briefly in Tezpur.
- Hey, one minute.

503
00:33:08,667 --> 00:33:13,082
Ahuja sir has a file on everyone.
But I don't know anything.

504
00:33:13,083 --> 00:33:16,583
So how did the rest of you catch this bug?

505
00:33:18,875 --> 00:33:19,958
- Yes?
- Sangy.

506
00:33:21,458 --> 00:33:25,375
Ma'am, where I come from, the only way
to get out of town is to join the army.

507
00:33:26,333 --> 00:33:29,375
My father, my grandfather,
both were in the army.

508
00:33:30,250 --> 00:33:32,750
But neither of them could fight in a war.

509
00:33:33,667 --> 00:33:37,250
So, I'm just trying to pay off that debt.

510
00:33:37,917 --> 00:33:42,125
Ma'am, he doesn't drink much, so he's
always caught between debt and duty.

511
00:33:59,708 --> 00:34:03,374
Ma'am, when you said "special,"
I had something else in mind.

512
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:06,000
I never imagined pulao could be so good.

513
00:34:06,542 --> 00:34:07,583
What's in it?

514
00:34:08,458 --> 00:34:10,124
Thank you so much for the food, ma'am.

515
00:34:10,125 --> 00:34:13,916
But I have to leave now.
I have an urgent call to make.

516
00:34:13,917 --> 00:34:17,083
Well, who's going to wash the dishes?
Forgotten the tradition?

517
00:34:18,375 --> 00:34:21,332
By the way, Baldy,
you can call from here too.

518
00:34:21,333 --> 00:34:23,833
- We have an STD connection.
- Yes, do it.

519
00:34:24,708 --> 00:34:27,042
Sir, he wants to make
a private call from a public booth.

520
00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:32,917
You can go, Baldy.

521
00:34:33,833 --> 00:34:36,166
Dhali, you can do
Baldy's share of the dishes.

522
00:34:36,167 --> 00:34:37,250
Yes. Sure, ma'am.

523
00:34:37,958 --> 00:34:40,000
But who is she, Professor <i>sahib?</i>

524
00:34:40,792 --> 00:34:42,499
You're ditching
the entire squadron for her.

525
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:45,250
No one, Dhali.
I have an urgent family call.

526
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,582
See you tomorrow.
Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma'am.

527
00:34:48,583 --> 00:34:52,041
But what family emergency came up?

528
00:34:52,042 --> 00:34:53,416
Dhali, wallet.

529
00:34:53,417 --> 00:34:55,041
I'm just taking out
her contact for everyone.

530
00:34:55,042 --> 00:34:56,999
There must be
a photo of the person in here.

531
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,124
- I'm just checking, man.
- Don't do it.

532
00:34:59,125 --> 00:35:01,792
- Hey, wait a minute. Here it is. I see it.
- Dhali!

533
00:35:14,625 --> 00:35:15,791
I'll get the first aid kit.

534
00:35:15,792 --> 00:35:16,749
Oh, no, ma'am.

535
00:35:16,750 --> 00:35:18,332
- I'm completely fine. I'm absolutely okay.
- No, you're not.

536
00:35:18,333 --> 00:35:19,958
I am absolutely fine, ma'am.

537
00:35:29,917 --> 00:35:31,000
Sir.

538
00:35:55,750 --> 00:36:00,708
Mian <i>sahib</i>, I can say with certainty
that this fellow is up to no good.

539
00:36:01,458 --> 00:36:03,917
You should not trust him too much.

540
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:09,875
General.

541
00:36:11,792 --> 00:36:14,000
We were just about to start. Come.

542
00:36:19,250 --> 00:36:21,917
Sir, you called me so urgently.
Is everything all right?

543
00:36:23,625 --> 00:36:25,333
Butt <i>sahib</i> has some concerns.

544
00:36:27,208 --> 00:36:29,500
I thought I'd take this opportunity
to also have breakfast with you.

545
00:36:30,750 --> 00:36:34,625
I've already had breakfast, Mian <i>sahib.</i>
But I'll have some fruit.

546
00:36:35,625 --> 00:36:39,417
Tell me, Butt <i>sahib.</i>
What are the ISI's concerns?

547
00:36:40,417 --> 00:36:42,082
The concern is

548
00:36:42,083 --> 00:36:45,958
why are we cancelling the winter holidays
of thousands of soldiers of the X Corps

549
00:36:46,625 --> 00:36:48,208
and sending them to Skardu?

550
00:36:48,792 --> 00:36:52,958
Such heavy troop movement
along the LoC during peace talks?

551
00:36:53,667 --> 00:36:54,875
It's a bit alarming.

552
00:37:07,042 --> 00:37:11,958
Sir, we have intel that some Mujahideen
are planning to infiltrate the valley

553
00:37:12,792 --> 00:37:15,375
in order to derail the peace talks.

554
00:37:17,083 --> 00:37:20,792
As ISI Chief, perhaps you didn't get
this piece of intel.

555
00:37:22,583 --> 00:37:26,541
Sir, to maintain peace at the border,
many leaves have been canceled.

556
00:37:26,542 --> 00:37:29,917
Many have been deployed along the border.

557
00:37:30,875 --> 00:37:32,708
So this means you are

558
00:37:33,958 --> 00:37:35,833
doing this to protect
the security of the peace talks?

559
00:37:37,417 --> 00:37:38,875
Yes, sir. Of course.

560
00:37:43,833 --> 00:37:45,124
Very thoughtful.

561
00:37:45,125 --> 00:37:49,708
Sir, the army and the government have been
locked in a tug-of-war for a long time.

562
00:37:50,792 --> 00:37:52,208
I want to put an end to this.

563
00:37:53,208 --> 00:37:56,917
I want to show the public
that Rawalpindi and Islamabad

564
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:58,958
can play on the same pitch, sir.

565
00:38:00,083 --> 00:38:01,500
We can work together.

566
00:38:06,583 --> 00:38:08,708
See, Butt <i>sahib.</i> I told you, didn't I?

567
00:38:10,208 --> 00:38:12,042
There's no need to worry
about General Musharraf.

568
00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:14,625
He is playing on our team.

569
00:38:33,583 --> 00:38:36,082
I am sorry, ma'am. I've double-checked.

570
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:38,207
Your name is not
on the approved visitor list.

571
00:38:38,208 --> 00:38:41,249
Sir, please just connect me to Bala once...

572
00:38:41,250 --> 00:38:42,999
I mean, put me through
to Flying Officer Bal Reddy.

573
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,291
He'll explain everything to you.

574
00:38:44,292 --> 00:38:46,875
Sorry, madam. An exercise is going on.
Nothing can be done right now.

575
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,042
Then let me talk to the CO.
Tony sir, right?

576
00:39:16,375 --> 00:39:17,500
Sorry, sir.

577
00:39:18,375 --> 00:39:20,375
I had no idea

578
00:39:21,458 --> 00:39:22,917
Madhavi was coming here.

579
00:39:27,125 --> 00:39:28,500
- Chou.
- Sir?

580
00:39:29,292 --> 00:39:32,042
Can she be accommodated
in the VIP guesthouse?

581
00:39:32,833 --> 00:39:33,833
Fully occupied, sir.

582
00:39:39,125 --> 00:39:39,958
Sir...

583
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,667
she can stay with us.

584
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:48,458
Alka and I will be happy to host Madhavi.

585
00:39:51,083 --> 00:39:54,708
Okay then.
Baldy, you can get back to work.

586
00:39:55,833 --> 00:39:57,083
Yes, sir.

587
00:40:09,292 --> 00:40:12,541
<i>The siren for the war game finals
can go off anytime. We need to be ready.</i>

588
00:40:12,542 --> 00:40:14,875
Our target will be
Red Land's key airbase.

589
00:40:15,667 --> 00:40:19,625
But this time we'll take photos
after the bombing, not before,

590
00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:24,166
to find out
if the bombs hit their target or not.

591
00:40:24,167 --> 00:40:28,875
Battle damage assessment is far more
dangerous than photo recon flying.

592
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:32,042
Because we won't have
the element of surprise.

593
00:40:32,667 --> 00:40:34,957
Their radars will be waiting for us.

594
00:40:34,958 --> 00:40:36,667
And they'll certainly have
surface-to-air missiles.

595
00:40:40,708 --> 00:40:44,957
So this time, we will try a new strategy.

596
00:40:44,958 --> 00:40:49,458
This strategy will serve us
not only in a war game, but also in war.

597
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:01,583
If this is the enemy's radar screen...

598
00:41:03,958 --> 00:41:05,792
how many dots will be visible on it?

599
00:41:06,958 --> 00:41:08,958
Sir, six.

600
00:41:14,708 --> 00:41:16,333
Exactly.

601
00:41:16,917 --> 00:41:19,124
Six jets in close formation.

602
00:41:19,125 --> 00:41:23,542
So close that it should appear as
one big dot on the enemy's radar screen.

603
00:41:24,083 --> 00:41:28,166
And the enemy should think
it's a large transport aircraft.

604
00:41:28,167 --> 00:41:30,542
We will fly in close formation
up to the target.

605
00:41:31,125 --> 00:41:34,582
And at the last minute,
we'll break formation and click photos.

606
00:41:34,583 --> 00:41:38,499
And after clicking photos,
before their interceptors arrive,

607
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:40,417
we will have crossed the mock LoC.

608
00:41:41,250 --> 00:41:43,875
Into friendly skies. Clear?

609
00:41:47,792 --> 00:41:50,000
What's wrong, boys? Too risky?

610
00:41:52,042 --> 00:41:54,958
Dhali, I was going to reinstate you.

611
00:41:57,917 --> 00:42:00,917
- But okay. If you can't, then--
- No. We can, sir.

612
00:42:01,542 --> 00:42:02,417
We will do it.

613
00:42:03,375 --> 00:42:05,917
- Come again?
- We'll do it, sir!

614
00:42:07,417 --> 00:42:08,375
Good.

615
00:42:10,417 --> 00:42:12,750
And, Dhali, this time
you won't be flying with Goofy.

616
00:42:15,208 --> 00:42:18,792
I've shuffled everyone's wingmen.
Check the flying program board.

617
00:42:42,542 --> 00:42:45,625
Baldy, call in position.
I'm at 700, match my speed.

618
00:42:50,875 --> 00:42:53,917
- In position.
- Now maintain position, Baldy.

619
00:43:05,042 --> 00:43:07,250
Sangy joining up. Goofy call in position.

620
00:43:08,208 --> 00:43:09,625
Goofy joining up.

621
00:43:11,708 --> 00:43:13,667
- Teekay joining up.
- Max joining up.

622
00:43:14,417 --> 00:43:16,958
Tridents, Diamond formation is complete.

623
00:43:17,458 --> 00:43:20,292
Let's maintain speed.
Let's not mess it up, guys.

624
00:43:24,125 --> 00:43:26,624
Baldy, too close.
You're falling behind, man.

625
00:43:26,625 --> 00:43:28,332
Sorry, Sangy. Maintaining.

626
00:43:28,333 --> 00:43:30,624
Baldy, it's not a school bus.
Maintain 700.

627
00:43:30,625 --> 00:43:32,957
- Dhali, slow down and match Baldy's speed?
- Negative.

628
00:43:32,958 --> 00:43:35,291
The mission also has to be carried out
at this speed, right?

629
00:43:35,292 --> 00:43:37,791
- Baldy, increase your speed.
- Roger.

630
00:43:37,792 --> 00:43:38,958
Increasing.

631
00:43:46,375 --> 00:43:47,750
<i>Formation stable at 700.</i>

632
00:43:48,833 --> 00:43:49,833
Ready to turn left.

633
00:43:50,792 --> 00:43:52,000
Baldy, be on guard.

634
00:43:53,583 --> 00:43:55,750
Tridents, pan left 0-5-3.

635
00:44:01,083 --> 00:44:05,500
Formation stable at turn.
Accelerate to 750 now!

636
00:44:06,083 --> 00:44:08,042
Baldy, what are you doing?
You're falling behind again.

637
00:44:09,042 --> 00:44:12,250
Baldy, we're not even close to Mach 1!
Maintain 750.

638
00:44:13,125 --> 00:44:14,416
I'm trying.

639
00:44:14,417 --> 00:44:15,624
Dhali, why aren't you listening?

640
00:44:15,625 --> 00:44:19,207
- Let's maintain speed with Baldy.
- Negative. Let's stick to 750.

641
00:44:19,208 --> 00:44:21,125
Everyone, 750 now!

642
00:44:21,833 --> 00:44:25,416
Baldy, what are you doing, man?
We'll collide. Teekay, peel off, now!

643
00:44:25,417 --> 00:44:27,416
- Teekay peeling off!
- Arrows, peel off!

644
00:44:27,417 --> 00:44:29,250
Abort! Abort! Abort!

645
00:44:35,958 --> 00:44:37,417
Come on, guys!

646
00:44:56,375 --> 00:44:57,792
Sit, sit, sit, Please.

647
00:44:59,625 --> 00:45:01,875
What happened?
Why is everyone in such a bad mood?

648
00:45:03,750 --> 00:45:07,417
It was a practice sortie,
not a war exercise mission.

649
00:45:08,250 --> 00:45:10,000
Another round for everyone, please.

650
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:12,417
Sangy?

651
00:45:13,542 --> 00:45:16,374
We celebrate life
after close calls, don't we?

652
00:45:16,375 --> 00:45:20,042
We do celebrate, sir.
But this call was way too close.

653
00:45:21,500 --> 00:45:23,167
We almost collided.

654
00:45:25,708 --> 00:45:28,916
It was probably the first time
we were flying in a formation of six.

655
00:45:28,917 --> 00:45:32,957
And so, it became a little difficult
to stay in sync with each other.

656
00:45:32,958 --> 00:45:34,917
No, sir. I am to blame for this.

657
00:45:36,917 --> 00:45:38,167
Sir, it was my fault.

658
00:45:38,750 --> 00:45:39,833
I...

659
00:45:41,167 --> 00:45:44,750
I was having trouble
matching Dhali's speed.

660
00:45:46,917 --> 00:45:49,917
Sir, the problem...
was the choice of exercise.

661
00:45:51,167 --> 00:45:52,375
Okay.

662
00:45:53,917 --> 00:45:56,667
Sir, Ahuja sir makes us do
an extremely risky exercise.

663
00:45:57,375 --> 00:45:59,333
Which is fine with me. I'm up for it.

664
00:46:00,167 --> 00:46:03,625
But then,
to suddenly shuffle our wingmen, sir.

665
00:46:05,042 --> 00:46:06,792
How will perfection be achieved, sir?

666
00:46:10,292 --> 00:46:11,458
Suddenly?

667
00:46:16,667 --> 00:46:20,208
When you encounter a technical glitch
in the air, it happens suddenly.

668
00:46:21,250 --> 00:46:24,124
When the decision to eject has to be made,

669
00:46:24,125 --> 00:46:27,292
no one leaves home thinking that
they will have to eject today.

670
00:46:29,083 --> 00:46:30,417
It happens suddenly.

671
00:46:31,292 --> 00:46:35,417
I haven't called Ahuja here
for your routine exercises.

672
00:46:37,042 --> 00:46:40,625
I've called him
so he can prepare you for war.

673
00:46:42,667 --> 00:46:44,375
Because when war breaks out,

674
00:46:46,292 --> 00:46:48,000
even that happens suddenly.

675
00:46:49,292 --> 00:46:51,917
If you guys think of yourselves
as fighter pilots,

676
00:46:54,542 --> 00:46:57,375
then have the courage
to accept a challenge,

677
00:46:58,125 --> 00:46:59,625
and not just complain about it.

678
00:47:01,375 --> 00:47:03,832
We're meant to be razor blades. Right?

679
00:47:03,833 --> 00:47:05,042
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

680
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,125
Then bloody behave like one.

681
00:47:56,333 --> 00:47:58,916
- Long live Pakistan.
- Long live Pakistan.

682
00:47:58,917 --> 00:48:00,333
Welcome to Skardu, sir.

683
00:48:01,792 --> 00:48:02,750
Hassan,

684
00:48:03,875 --> 00:48:07,417
what are Mujahideen doing
at this army base?

685
00:48:08,958 --> 00:48:10,208
Come, sir.

686
00:48:11,333 --> 00:48:13,250
I'll explain it to you.

687
00:48:30,333 --> 00:48:34,875
So the Pakistan Army
will now work with Mujahideen?

688
00:48:36,958 --> 00:48:38,458
Do they seem like Mujahideen to you?

689
00:48:41,917 --> 00:48:43,417
Then that's how they'll seem
to the Indians too.

690
00:48:44,625 --> 00:48:48,750
Then, it will also seem to them that
the Pakistan Army has no role in this.

691
00:48:49,792 --> 00:48:53,124
Because we will
only speak to them in Pashto.

692
00:48:53,125 --> 00:48:56,250
But the truth is,
these are not Mujahideen.

693
00:48:56,792 --> 00:48:59,624
They are 2,000 soldiers of our 12 NLI.

694
00:48:59,625 --> 00:49:08,957
<i>- Naara-e-Takbeer!
- Allah-hu-Akbar!</i>

695
00:49:08,958 --> 00:49:11,208
{\an8}<i>-Naara-e-Takbeer!
- Allah-hu-Akbar!</i>

696
00:49:16,958 --> 00:49:18,042
Sir.

697
00:49:19,125 --> 00:49:21,707
You briefed me on eight posts
and 100 soldiers.

698
00:49:21,708 --> 00:49:25,917
The preparations underway in Skardu...
it's no less than a war, sir.

699
00:49:28,792 --> 00:49:30,707
General Zia, you look quite refreshed.

700
00:49:30,708 --> 00:49:33,375
Looks like fresh mountain air
suits you rather well.

701
00:49:41,083 --> 00:49:45,249
General Zia, the more posts we capture,

702
00:49:45,250 --> 00:49:47,624
the more pressure we can put on India.

703
00:49:47,625 --> 00:49:51,332
Undoubtedly, the height advantage
will allow us to take on the Indian Army.

704
00:49:51,333 --> 00:49:54,542
But what if they involve their air force?

705
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,249
We have double-checked
with the German and Russian Air Forces.

706
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:08,042
In that terrain, at those heights,
no Air Force in the world can operate!

707
00:50:08,792 --> 00:50:10,207
And this is a proven fact.

708
00:50:10,208 --> 00:50:11,874
Sir, still I feel

709
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:15,917
our soldiers on the peaks
should be armed with Stinger missiles.

710
00:50:16,833 --> 00:50:17,958
"Mujahideen."

711
00:50:18,917 --> 00:50:22,208
Not our soldiers, Mujahideen, General Zia.

712
00:50:24,792 --> 00:50:27,792
Aren't you the DGMO?
Give them the Stingers.

713
00:50:28,792 --> 00:50:29,750
What's the big deal?

714
00:50:30,458 --> 00:50:32,874
Sir, Stinger missiles
are not regular weapons.

715
00:50:32,875 --> 00:50:36,333
For large-scale mobilization,
we will need the PM's approval.

716
00:50:51,542 --> 00:50:53,625
You worry too much, Tauqir.

717
00:50:56,625 --> 00:50:59,917
If we are to snatch Kashmir from India,

718
00:51:01,458 --> 00:51:04,375
we'll have to put in
a little bit of effort, won't we?

719
00:51:05,708 --> 00:51:11,083
When the time comes, I'll get Mian s<i>ahib</i>
to sign off on everything.

720
00:51:15,042 --> 00:51:16,875
We have to seize Kashmir.

721
00:56:05,958 --> 00:56:10,958
